Galaxy ESO 507-70

ESO 507-70 is an odd-looking galaxy that is probably the remnant of an earlier merger process. It is a chaotic swirl of gas, dust and stars with no sign of the conjectured original spiral or elliptical structure, now lost and distorted beyond recognition in a gravitational encounter with another galaxy.

ESO 507-70 is some 300 million light-years away from Earth toward the constellation of Hydra, the Water Snake.
